A fan simply asked Lagerwey about the rumors regarding the backline - upcoming retirements or free agency.
Laughing, Lagerwey indicated that the “cat’s out of the bag” on Zach Scott. He’s retiring and not part of the 2017 plan. Then he offered this nugget on Chad Marshall.
"Chad signed a new contract this year, so I don't think he's uh... Chad's my neighbor too. He tells me he's going to stay. So as far as I know it's just Zach [retiring]."
Seattle Sounders FC confirmed to Sounder at Heart that Marshall is, in fact, under contract in 2017.
